Like almost all the Hellenistic historians, however, his work survives only in fragments. This book provides an up-to-date study of his work and shows that both the nature of the evidence and modern assumptions about historical writing in the Hellenistic period have skewed our treatment and judgement of lost historians. For Timaeus, much of our evidence is preserved in the polemical context of Polybius' Book 12. When we move outside that framework and examine the fragments of Timaeus in their proper context, we gain a greater appreciation for his method and his achievement, including his use of polemical invective and his composition of speeches. This has important implications for our broader understanding of the major lines of Hellenistic historiography. 517 3 $aTimaeus of Tauromenium & Hellenistic Historiography 606 $aHistorians$zGreece$vBiography 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yTo 146 B.C$xHistoriography 615 0$aHistorians 676 $a938.0072/02 700 $aBaron$b Christopher A.$f1973-$0722309 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779438803321 996 $aTimaeus of Tauromenium and hellenistic historiography$91408319 997 $aUNINA
